Germany, Frau Merkel

Please don't get me wrong...it's not that I dislike the Chancellor... Mrs. Merkel; or the fact that she is  a woman...nothing like that whatsoever I assure you. 

What  bothers me is her obvious  ignorance of historical facts and the total sucking up to the Americans.
And again...I am not anti American, hell....I'm German born with a green card in Florida but why is it wrong to disagree with the crimes committed by the US administration...like Truman, or Bush II or those associated with the rulers of the USA who clearly committed crimes against humanity.

I have lived in North America for over 50 years. I own a nice home in Florida.I enjoy the freedom of being able to speak out in Canada and or the USA. That should not mean that when the German Chancellor talks about the USA and uses vocabulary in referring to Americans as  unsere Befreier, translate our liberators...that I have to buy this crap and agree with it.

The war with Germany was just about over back in 1945, the country, Germany more than 85% destroyed when Churchill decided on one more act of total revenge. Dresden. This beautiful city was filled with fleeing women and children, who were heading west from the Russian and Polish regions, there was no significant military value in or about Dresden, when it was decided to totally destroy this place and kill, burn to death somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 million innocent civilians and refugees.

You have to be an idiot to consider this stupid revenge  act as anything  describing liberation- it was nothing short of mass murder; please Frau Merkel...study the history. And while you're at it look at Nagasaki and Hiroshima..and the Truman revenge connection.Was it really necessary to kill 1/4 million people with the atomic bomb at a time the Japanese were ready to call it quits? And why the second bomb just a few days later. But that's another story, a tragedy in my view, nothing for the American administration under Truman  to be proud of.

Computer stuff, like you need more of it?

If you need to check for malware here are my recommendations - these will allow you to do
a thorough check and removal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident which can cause as many issues as the malware and maybe harder to detect as the
cause.

No one program can be relied upon to detect and remove all malware. Added that often easy
to detect malware is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove payload. So
its better to be overly thorough now than to pay the high price later. Check with these to an
extreme overkill point and then run the cleanup only when you are very sure the system is clean.

These can be done in Safe Mode - repeatedly tap F8 as you boot however you should also run
them in regular Windows when you can.

Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT, and add Prevx to be sure it is gone.

virtual pc doctor

heard of "Virtual PC Doctor?"

Applies To: Windows | Windows XP | Security, Privacy, and User Accounts

Has anyone heard of "virtual pc doctor"? A friend asked me to look into this. She received an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from a company with the above name saying that there has been alot of computer problems in her area, and that they can fix the problems but first they need to access her computer to find the errors. She was given a website to go to, a password kinda thing to enter and then voila, they were in her computer. Anyhow to make a long story longer, she realized afterward that perhaps they were not legit, and is now worried about what they could have done. I told her the possibilities were infinate, from identity theft, to viruses to phishing and on and on. Or they could be legit but i doubt it...or, at the end of it all they spouted off all the errors they supposedly found and said for 250 dollars they could fix it, and this would give her a subscription for their service to continue...so it could be just a straight forward financial scam....has anyone heard of them and if so, what is their game if any and what do you suggest for her now that she has already given them access at least once.

Company of Young Canadians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Company of Young Canadians (CYC) was a short-lived Canadian youth program sponsored by the Canadian federal government, which existed from 1966 to 1977. It was inspired by the U.S. Peace Corps, but was designed to be run autonomously without government direction.
It generated considerable controversy shortly after its founding: coordination with volunteers in small communities was poorly organized, and several of the youth involved in the program were prominent political activists. Among other things, it was accused in 1969 of harbouring terrorists by municipal officials from Montreal, including Mayor Jean Drapeau. These claims were never verified. In March 1970 its administration was taken over by the federal government, and in 1977 it was formally abolished.

The Peace Corps

 

The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship.
Since that time, 200,000+ Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 139 host countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation.
Today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development, and contributing to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to help countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities.

America, 2012, politics

As much as I hope that Mr.Obama will be re-elected, one must always be aware that things can change, stranger events have happened in the recent past and if someone like Bush 2 the shrub can be elected...even for a second term, than anything is possible.

Much to my own surprise I see Mr. Gingrich, the obstructionist,speaker of days gone by, slowly emerging as a credible candidate...if the republicans should be in the position to elect the next president.
The man appears to have a good grasp of history, especially in the middle east region.

Palestine is not a country and never has been a country he says. And of course he is right.
The once mighty Ottoman Empire was friendly with the German Reich (1871-1918) and after the armistice somehow or other the British, France and the USA were involved  to a lesser extend decided to create a bunch of kings or regents to manage most of the orphans of the former Ottoman Empire, which was now reduced to Turkey.

Most of these puppet kings have by now disappeared, replaced one by one by emerging army commanders who took over as dictators and have only recently been killed or turned out of office.
There are a few of them left, one being Saudi Arabia, from Ibn Saud the self declared king the regime has grown to a royal family of about 6,000.

Ibn Saud apparently pointed out to Roosevelt that there were huge oil reserves available to the USA. The president remarked, we have Texas....of course that was in 1944 and long before Onassis started building supertankers as the Texas reserves started to be depleted.
